Saturday

As an artist we are always searching for way to reinterpret our visions and as I have always been in love with textures, I too have been searching for ways to interpret and apply the texture I discover in the form of a painting.

So while gardening, trimming a tree and cutting all the branches down to fit in the fireplace, I looked at the pile of wood on the ground, my imagination began to run wild.

After collecting enough pieces of twigs and branches to fill a ten gallon bucket, I felt I had an abundant amount that were size appropriate for use on a canvas to begin the project. Using tweezers and medium gel, each piece of wood is carefully positioned in place until the desired effect is achieved and here are the results . . .

I love work with wood, it has a warmth that no other material offers. I was thinking about what I could do with twigs when we did some trimming last week and the next day when an idea came the wood had already been removed, sigh. Sure glad to see your creations, hugs!

About the Artist & Author

At age seven I dreamt of becoming an artist, after three decades as a graphic designer and commercial photographer, I made the switch.
Working in multi-medium materials to create Abstract Realism paintings, while also working in traditional subject matter like landscapes and still life in oil, including photography as another method to express a personal vision.
